Which mental health support option feels most accessible for YOU?

The standard route for many Brits—IAPT services offer CBT and other therapies at no cost, though waiting lists can be lengthy. Direct, familiar, and backed by the health system you already know.

Online platforms, local therapists, or specialist practitioners give you control over timing, approach, and therapist fit. More expensive but often faster access and personalised treatment plans.

Many larger employers now offer Employee Assistance Programmes, mental health apps, or in-house counselling. Convenient and often free, though confidentiality concerns may linger.

Local charities, support circles, and peer-led groups across the UK tackle specific issues—from grief to anxiety to LGBTQ+ health. Low-cost, human-centred, and often exactly what you need.

Apps, online courses, books, and meditation platforms offer flexible, affordable options for managing mild to moderate concerns. Empowering, but requires self-motivation and may not suit everyone.
